this is causing a runaway freight train of the u.s. dollar going higher. greetings and sal you taishan us welcome one and all to the next chapter of the great pandemic of 2020 and what have the previous chapters in this book shown us now well you have a variety of bad big to choose from really you have strange frightening inspiring courageous creepy me personally the adjective i like most to describe the last few weeks of this pandemic is. revealing yes revealing you see because it's in

times of great stress obstacles and fear that often show us who we really are especially who are chosen leaders really are like us congressman richard burr who in his position of senate intelligence committee chairman heard the news of the impending pandemic before the rest of us and chose to save his own ass set's while selling our physical and financial safety up the river or what about the united states department of justice who instead of seeking to help protect all of us is instead taking a page out of the bush administration's post $911.00 playbook and is looking to decimate our legal and constitutional rights under cover of national catastrophe politico is now reporting that according to recently uncovered documents submitted by the d.o.j. to congress that the justice department has proposed that congress grant the attorney general power to ask the chief judge of any district court to pause court

proceedings whenever the district court is fully or partially closed by virtue of any natural disaster civil disobedience or other emergency situation. as norman l. reimer executive director of the national association of criminal defense lawyers correctly notes that means you could be arrested and never brought before a judge until they decide that the emergency or the civil disobedience is in fact over and that decision my friends may never come as we've learned from the u.s. congress is continued obedience to reauthorizing the pay authorizing the patriot act and the national defense authorization act all read over and over again despite the emergencies that spy on them being long finished and over. so as this international catastrophe continues to reveal the good from the bad and the ugly i think it's a good time to start watching the whole. you

want to. see this joyce. graves see this least systemic deceptions show. joe. welcome everybody to watch your hearts i. and i when the. well well well there's a lot of bad guys there's a lot of ugly but there's some good going on in the last few weeks omission a little if we can dig deep enough to find it obviously as you know the coronavirus has everybody up in arms and we're seeing a lot of back and forth between congress members on both sides of the aisle the poor get left out obviously and so do those apparently would be the to think. this is just a 6 push and pull right now it's an election year and we're just we're kind of

caught in the mix really is and that's when you see these stories come like blazing through and you know those of us who you know lived through you know what we're in our twenty's at least to know you know gone through the 911 experience where all of sudden you had the patriot act and the national defense authorization act you are overweight what's going on because usually during these crisis that's when people try to push through the most like constitutionally damaging stuff that they want to do for a while because ironically those are the times where fewer people are watching because of what everyone's off $911.00 particularly with the patriot act and how much of that mitt towards taking american security away and privacy now people are a lot more attentive so you're not going to be able to push things through as much under the current if you were able to do with 911 we're watching one more advocacy group speak out against this right now you're seeing people that are basically thing you should be worried of. trying to make sure we have enough hospital beds enough math we shouldn't be trying to roll back more rights for people we shouldn't be trying to take away what it means to be an american citizen no we shouldn't be i

mean just to give you an idea of some of the things that they're trying to there are asking for i mean the d.o.j. also asked congress not only about the kind of like well you know let us kind of indefinitely hold people without charging them but you know as long as the emergency takes place which could be forever and the barman also asked congress to pause the statue of limitations for criminal investigations and civil proceedings. for at least a few for at least one year they also looked at change the federal rules of criminal procedure when it comes to video conferencing hearings and to let those hearings happen without a defendant's consent meaning that like ok let's say if you want to you know if they're going to have any hearing in regards to a court case you defendant wouldn't have to have their consent in order for it to be done over video conferencing so on one hand you're like well you know conferencing the hearings a smart idea in a time of virus but shouldn't the defendant who's there to defend himself be able to say i want to be there live or over video conversely stuff some say it's passé that i think the timing is problematic but it's also the fact that we're supposed

to be in this new era of criminal justice reform and we're watching more and more of those reforms not looking very much like reforms that all we're talking about pushing through things like this that automatically turn turn every all of our progress on its head when it comes to many people who are already incarcerated actually being able to not only have their day in court but have a day in court that is actually foundational to their constitutional rights and the least of it would also be protected from the virus too because we're also seeing that 2 words like well. exactly and my other question is what are you if you were to hold these people would you actually hold them our prisons in our jails are already overcrowded when we saw the part you know we saw what happened down in mississippi with park and prison them like what's happening down there that's already a mess i mean there's a 1000000 different things at work here and one of things that got under my skin the most and that really. mean was the fact that like you had senators congressmen or president all knowing in advance all knowing in january all getting briefed over and over and over again and not really sounding an alarm and to what mid late

february because the president believed he could contain it and other members of congress were so busy doing well one again election year trying to get somebody else to let be that they were on the democratic side but also just not paying this attention the but didn't start with didn't stop it presidential there was so many other levers that also ignored oh they were also for and they were also making a lot of money at the stock market to burn them 1700000 maybe say you got kelly loffler republican out of georgia 1300000 you got dianne feinstein in that mess so when stocks left and right they all knew and they all got busy on the stock market at the end of the day but again what i put you know the needs of the people above the needs of their pocketbooks. and you can see the group of them there that's just some of them were but accused of trading stocks and you know what spurred what's to come with this virus. the novel coronavirus is touching every aspect of our lives stay at home orders have been issued in several places in

addition to curfews pop up testing clinics social distancing mandates and the list goes on and on for america workers it's layoffs industry collapse and wondering if they will be able to weather a storm that's beginning to raise the same types of fears we saw in the 2008 housing and economic crash trump desperately tried to take advantage of the economic gains obama's recovery act created now it's 40 five's turn to work the economic magic of his own we've seen the child administration ideas about a $1200.00 direct cash payment to americans but that just doesn't go far enough workers across the country have already lost their jobs and many more face unemployment is coping 1000 ravages the u.s. force enclosures up. bars schools and other areas of public life non-essential employment projections look bleak and the left in effects could cripple states for

example goldman sachs forecasts that the economy will contract by 2.5 percent over the 1st half of this year translation a loss of 3000000 jobs by june bush bank and j.p. morgan actually see things a bit worse suggesting 7500000 jobs could be lost the hospitality and retail industries are poised to take the hardest hit it's affecting states like nevada florida and hawaii at high rates. but according to a quirk by the economic policy institute all things are going to feel the pain california is positioned to lose over 600000 jobs while texas could lose 400000 my home state of illinois up to 200000 jobs this summer. the job loss knows no region and respects neither rule or urban areas equal opportunity with the white house boiling every step of the way as they attempt to get a coronavirus recovery package together with house democrats and senate republicans

in a power battle americans are left hanging in the balance governors mayors and other local leaders will be tasked with not only fighting for their think that qana me but developing policy plans to restructure after the colossal downfall and it's an election year and a lot is at stake but nothing matters more to voters than their pocketbooks can stay policy makers reduce job losses and mitigate harm and what measures can make take to lessen the blow. that is one of the most important questions that we can ask ourselves right now. hurt like whatever everywhere i look you see the economic impact happening left and right you can't escape the present that's only from the stay at home orders to the closures of certain businesses if you tell the drivers of the american economy in many cases the small businesses that they can no longer operate or they are out for weeks at a time they will have cash reserves on hand there is no bailout waiting for them many of them are not going to be able to open their doors again and we're already

looking at industries that were suffering before the corona virus outbreak we're talking about the retail industry if you're talking about you know the traditional hospitality industry all of those things were having their own they had their own bits of construction before coronavirus it and now this impact is something that many of them cannot weather it's it's brutal in that sense and then that's kind of the big question that's now every kind of we're proposing which is is congress has anybody in our government really prepared to handle this economic crisis. what you know if we're talking about earlier today it's going to rival 08 if not if not go past what happened what we saw in 2008 absolutely and we know that this administration isn't necessarily equipped to handle a president since his inauguration has been running on the economy being great these numbers being amazing job loss not really being us being out of that pressure section of 08 and him you know basically doing a nonstop campaign on how great the economy is doing now all of that is turned on

its head in a year where he is fighting for his own life in terms of reelection this is something that a lot of people projected could be the turning point for regardless of what his approval numbers were if the economy was to take a major l. things were going to look different so i think there's a lot of fear there as well and the economy is taking a major l. and the sad thing is you see washington go lock step right away into what they know right ok pay off the big donors ok bail out this group bail out boeing bail out all these companies boeing was doing bad before their sever happened remember they have there was a 737 mag is there there was a bunch of companies now who are jumping in like disaster capitalism like we might be affected by this what still some money from the american people would steal some money from the tax dollar taxpayers and get out get our big bailouts i think was it mark cuban actually said it best he said anyone who takes money from the government during this time of crisis should not be allowed to do any kind of start buybacks or you know feather ness of any executives whatsoever because we cannot allow that to happen as we saw in the aftermath of 2008 and it should have been an automatic

given it should have taken mark cuban to say it but i think that that definitely was something that put a lot of elected leaders on alert as well so now they're including that in their packages i think that there was something else interesting that came out this week earlier today actually congresswoman jodi she had some very interesting comments i think that we have the tweet let's see this tweet oh my goodness. so she is going to call them and go and businesses closing unemployment soaring hysteria and fear which is worker c.e.o.'s. or to a boy that's going to that which is worse the illness or the i think that is the crux of the tweet and the issue here is that there are a lot of people particularly on the conservative side and the president as well right now who are looking at the fact that businesses are going to be threatening clothes and looking at a lot of the big business looking at you know the capitalist market they were set upon and looking at those jobless numbers we talked about they are willing to stop the 2 to stop be the stakeholders they are willing to stop the social distancing

because they don't feel they can get the economy back on track should we do that though you also risk people literally dying in the streets. it's an easy choice for me if it comes down to the economy or people dying in the streets i'm sorry i want to save the people dying in the streets because guess what you don't have an economy of people are dead but it actually can remember i was thinking that maybe i understand you have this is this is not a this is not a 0 sum game you have to say people 1st you know we can develop all of these ideas about you know how to get our economy going again and hopefully our governors state legislators and others who are involved at a local level do have an understanding that they have to start making these policies now because they can't depend on the white house to do it this is an election year clearly they can't depend on a lot of people to do it they are the ones who their their populations are going to be looking forward to to make some type of sense of all of this you sort of don't put don't put put put people over profits that's really awesome awesome words as

the words humanitarian intervention thrown around quite a bit it's the phrase of choice by many a television news pundit both democratic and republican politicians beltway think tankers and former pentagon types alike especially when discussing the need for u.s. military involvement in faraway places you often can't find on maps you've heard the term used extensively by the administrations of george w. bush barack obama and donald trump when discussing u.s. involvement in sovereign countries. iraq syria liberate libya and iran but what exactly is humanitarian intervention the encyclopedia brittanica yes that one defines it as actions undertaken by an organization or organizations usually a state or a coalition of states that are intended to alleviate extensive human suffering within the borders of a sovereign state but is that the truth labor and human rights lawyer dan koval it believes there was a lot more that meets the eye when it comes to the rallying cry of humanitarian

intervention and he joins us now to discuss his new book on the subject titled no more war how the west violates international law using humanitarian intervention to advance economic and strategic interest thank you for joining us today deb. thanks so much for atomy it then is the title of your book suggests you know i want to ask you 1st what recent or what good examples of this humanitarian intervention you know best exemplifies the misuse of that phrase by the united states what are some examples that we've seen recently. well i think the line that really stands out is libya. it's one will recall in 2011. state u.s. just stated that nato bombing of libya between march of 2011 october 2011. this was under the obama administration and the 3 people who really pushed this operation were. self anointed he managed to turn in

interventionist and that was hillary clinton susan rice and samantha power samantha power famously writing a book saying that the u.s. had to be more active in stopping genocide around the world well but what happened 1st of all that turned out that the war was based on lies that all these wars are we weren't there to protect human rights and in fact e-mails that were leaked by we get weeks later showed internal discussions where they were in it there was no human rights crisis certainly by the time we were bombing libya. meanwhile in us lied about a number of reasons for invading one of the law it's the worst one. was that get off it was used in black commercial they are used from an african states to kill as don't think well this turned out not to be true 1st of all i don't know why they

had to be black but that with and for. but to turn out their being black mercenaries who are african guest workers that could be invited to work. in libya these 2 are not mercenaries at all in fact amnesty international which initially had all disli were delayed or stayed there was no evidence of but mercenary this lie was important to consider it didn't think one it helped pave the way for the intervention which destroyed it or not a murder of civilians to days like stir which killed thousands to be but also this law and help to just power on an anti african it anti-black sentiment military and so during and after the nato intervention you saw genocide against africa and yes for africa guest worker to hold day will you change

the entire black towns were to obvious laded by the forces of the us the warden and he and they had to just protect that these were a legit black person aires meanwhile as we know on the streets to libya for the 1st time in memory african guest workers in other african brought into libya are being sold on the streets before $100.00 of can just as slate this was the result of the humanitarian intervention carried out by the us under obama and encouraged by the lobby the remote famous humanitarian intervention is in the world . that's pretty incredible so it's a pretty incredible having stuff. when he managed areas that takes all the way home turf. and then get well. they're no good how is the united states and others been able to circumvent the un tarter and other human

rights laws against aggressive war by using the guise of human terry and inventing . yes for what they say so 1st of all any war since 1945 to the creation of the un charter. we have to remember that the un charter was created the un it was created after world war 2 in the sponsored a war would do and the main purpose of the un charter stopped aggressed of the war because this with seems to greatest scorcher against humanity and it greatest crime the nazis committed was a quest for. and so to get around that prescription against aggressive war and to get around the duty to sink security council authorization. to fight a war to us came up with this idea of humanitarian intervention in the idea you

know. if we claim we're going to stop genocide or going to protect the rights of people against and it's danceable dictator. the un says but that is it doesn't mean you operate they should come to security now. to do that the classic case of the worst was to yugoslavia this was the 1st. modern humanitarian intervention carried out by bill. and it was carried out without security council authorization. and clinton wanted the big east if he wanted to bomb. serbia which he did urge 78 days. was to show the world the dean us could do it and could do it without a security company council authorization and that's what happened the us did it along with other nato allies and their position was that it's not you. can do

whatever it wants in support if you get rights but again in the case he was sloppy and what we saw were 2 things that nato itself carried out war crimes masked war right over $78.00 days of bombing which mostly focused on civilian targets. but also being human rights abuses to. stir be there that you know extra plaint want to stop action style range it interests box to the bombing. in fact were spurred on by the bottom so that invasion again itself created humanitarian problems because again it focused largely on civilians and stability to structure but also to curb the very human rights. it claimed to curb act it because. it's but it's pretty incredible i want to ask you really quick only got about a minute left but are there any examples of you know humanitarian intervention

conducted by the u.s. that actually was justified and didn't have all turned their motives of what profiteering and all the other things you mentioned earlier is there any in the last 2030 years that you can think of the none of the. 28 there are 3 any. 2 well established well except that examples of humanitarian intervention in the past decades none of them were carried out out by the united states that's truly incredible but i don't know about god to actually measure. vietnam which invaded cambodia and got rid of pol pot. which very few people go. 1 into. when they plan into east pakistan now bangladesh. actually. and it up doing a lot to stop the extreme slaughter. in bangladesh and.

china and so nina. got rid. of the big changer in uganda eating meat well i'm sure you know human rights experts agree with those who are some type of humanitarian intervention not worth caring about out by the u.s. none which carried out by the last at all what i would add if i got it now was to keep it shouldn't stop going to africa which helped get rid of our growth in mandela nelson mandela grease the un now. well we did i mean i definitely recommend your book and it is you're always a fascinating read and thank you so much for coming on the book once again is no more war how the west violates international law using humanitarian intervention to advance economic and strategic interests then called what always a pleasure having you on thank you so much. and that ladies and gentlemen. is our show for you to day. and every member in this world we are not told that we are loved not so i tell you all i love you i am tyrone been thorough and i'm mr top

keep on watching those logs never a great day and i doubt there. are so much going on in the world don't you think when's the last time you had a real bird's eye view. of the new war and just hours of victory give me 30 minutes i'll take you off the globe. the question is earth's new question. number as stars and endless as the sea and bring all things just dead and.

dry. the beads. a dark industry comes to life in los angeles every night. dozens of women sells their bodies on the street many of them under-age. los angeles police reveal a taste of their daily challenge no if you're going to exploit a child here in los angeles there we're going to come out you see officers going undercover as 6 workers and customers to fight the las 6 trade. ins or a little bit messed up by our d.n.a. and somewhere over the complete i'm not sure it is such a quick thing you know i'm sure you look better now than when you had hair come on it's nice of you to say so but i went home and i was 25 animals and so great.
